Obviously ok with degrading women, as the posters that are up are in utter bad taste. Very degrading and uncomfortable atmosphete for a female who just wants to peruse hydro equipment. VERY BAD TASTE. I certainly won't return to this place.
It's pretty impressive that you know who I am and when I came in, if you get so many female customers. I guess you probably need that kind of stuff up in your shop if have a problem with your masculinity.
I'm on no moral high ground as I choose not to be on that same level as people like you.
There's no chance I'd set foot back in a place run by ignorant, misogynist bigots anyway. ( check dictionary for the big words)

Hi Steph Wadham,
We appreciate the feedback on the promotional material on display in our shop. I am sorry you have taken offence to this particular brands material.
We have several female customers and female staff members and the owners. In 10 years no one has taken offence to that particular poster. It is disappointing that as a statistical outlier you feel the need to voice your personal beliefs from behind a keyboard instead of perhaps raising the issue while you were in store. I seem to recall that you were quite dismissive when I tried to speak to you while you were in store. I take great care in treating all our customers equally and actually thought you were quite rude. Perhaps this exercise has been orchestrated to provide yourself with some entertainment for the day.
The person in the advertising material has chosen to pursue a career in modelling, what gives you the right to judge their career choices? THE MODEL IS CLOTHED. THERE IS NO NUDITY. Would you still have an issue with it was a male or another gender modelling in the same way? We have products with an elderly gentleman on it, is this agist? We have products with animals on the labels is this impinging on their rights and causing offence?
You are more than welcome to come back and provide some sort of moral high ground audit of our warehouse so we can prevent offence like this happening in the future.
Thanks
Backstreet
P.S The posters have been taken down. It costs nothing to be polite and ask nicely the posters would have been taken down straight away if you raised your issue at the time. I am no longer going to deal with a misandrist.
